00:00Welcome to a new edition of the big media news, here we are.
00:25Israel has to speak this Tuesday on a ceasefire in the war against the Lebanese Hezbollah.
00:32It is said that yesterday, an Israeli official, under the cover of anonymity,
00:37the United States affirmed that an agreement was close, while emphasizing that nothing was yet acquired.
00:46Donald Trump confirmed Monday that his first economic measures after his investment in January
00:51will increase customs rights on goods from China, but also from Canada and Mexico.
01:01In Pakistan, clashes are on the rise.
01:03This Tuesday, the security forces of thousands of partisans of former Prime Minister Emran Khan
01:09entered Islamabad early this morning to demand the release of their champion.
01:15Israel has to speak this Tuesday on a ceasefire in the war against the Lebanese Hezbollah.
01:19It is said that yesterday, an Israeli official, under the cover of anonymity,
01:24the United States affirmed that an agreement was close, while emphasizing that nothing was yet acquired.
01:29In the United States, clashes are on the rise.
01:32This Tuesday, the security forces of thousands of partisans of former Prime Minister Emran Khan
01:37entered Islamabad early this morning to demand the release of their champion.
01:41Israel has to speak this Tuesday on a ceasefire in the war against the Lebanese Hezbollah.
01:46It is said that yesterday, an Israeli official, under the cover of anonymity,
01:51the United States affirmed that an agreement was close, while emphasizing that nothing was yet acquired.
01:56According to the American information website, Axios, the agreement is based on an American project
02:01planning a 60-day truce, during which the Hezbollah and the Israeli army
02:06will be able to monitor the application added to Axios.
02:09We are talking about American insurance to support an Israeli military action in the event of a hostile act of Hezbollah.
02:19And in the news also, Donald Trump has confirmed on Monday that his first economic measures after his investment in January
02:27will be to increase customs rights on products from China, but also from Canada and Mexico.
02:34This is a decision that he justifies by the crises related to the OPC and immigration.
02:42On his social network, Donald Trump has announced an increase in customs taxes of 10%,
02:48which is added to those already existing and to those additional,
02:52which he could still decide on all the many products arriving from China to the United States.
02:58The increase in customs rights, which he has often described as his favorite expression during his campaign,
03:04is one of the keys to the future economic policy of the elected president,
03:08who is not afraid to relaunch trade wars, especially with China, which began during his first term.
03:17And then in Pakistan, clashes are on the rise.
03:20This Tuesday, security forces, thousands of supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan,
03:28entered Islamabad early this morning to demand the release of their champion,
03:34protesters on one side and police officers on the other.
03:37And the paramilitaries on the other have been seen exchanging tear gas shots.
03:43Security forces, which have been blocking the entirety of Islamabad districts since Sunday,
03:48have also fired rubber bullets.
03:51The Internet is inaccessible in several sectors.
04:03Yesterday, Minister Nassar Borreta received the European Commissioner in Charge of Neighbouring
04:09and Expansion, Oliver Vareli.
04:12During their meeting, the head of Moroccan diplomacy expressed the wish to see the European Union
04:18demonstrate by concrete actions its commitment to strategic partnership with Morocco.
04:24More details with Alain Benigni.
04:29The arrival in Morocco of Oliver Vareli, European Commissioner in Charge of Neighbouring and Expansion,
04:34marks a turning point in relations between Morocco and the European Union.
04:38An opportunity seized by the head of Moroccan diplomacy, Nassar Borreta,
04:42to clearly define his expectations of the European Union.
04:52The partnership between Morocco and the European Union has come to a turning point,
04:57which requires the confirmation of the commitment of the European Union in this partnership
05:02through actions beyond verbal expressions.
05:05The European Union must cement this partnership with Morocco
05:09and defend it against blackmail and legal and economic harassment.
05:13Today, Morocco is waiting for the European Union to say how it intends to deal with provocations.
05:20For Morocco, there can be no compromise to the detriment of the red lines drawn by the Kingdom.
05:28On its part, the European Commissioner in Charge of Neighbouring and Expansion
05:34expressed his agreement with the head of Moroccan diplomacy
05:38by stating that the European Union would not only like to save this partnership, but also to expand it.
05:45We are ready to work with you.
05:48As you have seen, our communication is very clear.
05:54We are attached to all the gains that have been made together with Morocco
06:01and we would like not only to save, but also to expand all these gains.
06:07Because, as you have seen in the last five years,
06:13Morocco is targeted in Europe as a pillar of stability,
06:22a pillar of prosperity, and more and more in the last five years we have seen this,
06:29and also a pillar that is always calculable, always available and serious in terms of regional security.
06:40For us, this partnership is not only positive, but essential.
06:50During his visit, the Commissioner announced the injection of 190 million euros
06:54allocated to an integrated program of reconstruction and general leveling of the affected areas
06:59in September 2023 by the Al-Hawz earthquake.
07:02This program, of a total value of 225 million euros,
07:05is based on the support of the populations affected by the earthquake,
07:09as well as the restart of essential public services and the revitalization of the local economy.
07:16We stay in Morocco.
07:18The relevant elements of the Marrakech police prefecture
07:21proceeded last night on the basis of precise information
07:25provided by the services of the General Directorate of Surveillance of the Territory
07:29at the interpellation of a French resource of Algerian origin
07:32which is the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by the French judicial authorities.
07:37The 38-year-old suspect was arrested in the Shefi area in Marrakech,
07:42precise the same source, adding that the point operation
07:46in the database of the Interpol revealed that the individual
07:49is the subject of an international search warrant in virtue of a red notice
07:54at the request of the National Central Bureau in Paris
07:57for his presumed involvement in a criminal network
08:01activating in the laundering of money.
08:07Direction now the Ivory Coast,
08:09where the private sector, through the patronage of large companies,
08:14holds its 12th edition of the CGECI Academy,
08:19an inclusive event that contributes to strengthen the skills of companies
08:24but above all to drive the creation of local economic champions.
08:29The event is from 25 to 26 November.
08:34We find Abidjan, Stéphane Soumaoro and Herman Dogo for more details.
08:40The CGECI Academy opens its doors for the 12th edition
08:44with well-defined ambitions.
08:46The President of the Ivory Coast, Alassane Ouattara,
08:49personally wanted to participate in this meeting
08:51to testify to all his support for the private sector
08:54which leads to the growth of the country
08:56which is today the second economic power in West Africa
08:59and ninth on the continental level.
09:01And to break new ground,
09:03the economic actors want to make the service industry
09:06a major pillar of their growth policies.
09:09This edition in 2024 is therefore based on the theme
09:12What is the service industry to stimulate the performance of African economies?
09:17The program will address crucial themes for our economic future
09:21including financial services and the future in Africa,
09:25inclusion and female entrepreneurship in the service sector,
09:30cultural and creative industries,
09:33logistics and the improvement of commercial flows.
09:37Lille-Maurice and Singapore, countries invited to this edition 2024,
09:41have managed to capitalize on the best
09:43the service industry in their respective economies,
09:46models around which experts and economic actors
09:49have built proposals adapted to Africa.
09:53The development of services
09:55can constitute a powerful factor of diversification and competitiveness.
10:00These are, of course, services of high added value
10:06such as financial services,
10:08information and communication technologies,
10:11tourism, as well as retail,
10:15which significantly impact the GDP of many African countries
10:20while stimulating social inclusion.
10:26Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,
10:28Director General of the World Trade Organization,
10:31invited participants to act with strength
10:34to transform local economies and use services as a lever.
10:38Like the United States,
10:40the world's leading economic power,
10:42whose strength lies in its service industry,
10:45the most important in the world,
10:47Ivory Coast intends to raise the level of services in the national GDP
10:51and stimulate growth in the performance of its service industry.
10:56And we go to Senegal,
10:58where the operations of the financial markets
11:00constitute a lever of economic development.
11:02Their impact on the financing of companies and public finances
11:07raises the challenges of investment
11:09and the opportunities of the business climate.
11:12The explanations with Hussein Ognion and Moussa Alder.
11:17300 million dollars is the amount mobilized by Senegal
11:21on the regional and international market.
11:24This success on the financial markets
11:27translates the need for Senegal
11:29to cover the financing of the budgetary execution 2024.
11:34The Treasury likes what we call treasury bonds
11:38for which, in any case, investors subscribe.
11:42It can be banks, it can be private.
11:45But it can also be loans related to projects
11:52that the State implements,
11:55as we have seen, infrastructure projects,
11:58including land, BRTs,
12:00which are partly financed by the highway,
12:03partly by partners such as the World Bank.
12:07These fund raising operations at the market level
12:11also help States to meet budgetary deficits.
12:15These markets are good news for our States
12:20because our States are now looking for funds
12:23on these markets, especially on the human resources agency.
12:27Often you hear about State-owned resignations
12:31and this happens every month.
12:33Every month, States come there to raise funds
12:36and these funds allow them to cover their budget,
12:39to finance the budgetary deficit.
12:41Financial markets favor the growth of investments.
12:45However, the debt rate in Senegal worries some experts.
12:49The constraints are that you need to be able to repay,
12:53internally.
12:55In the case of Lyoma, there are what we call indicators
12:58of its liquidity.
13:00The debt ratio must not exceed 70% of GDP.
13:04There must also be internal repayment capacities,
13:08that is, the share of internal revenues must not,
13:12in any case, they must be greater than 35%.
13:17So these are some indicators that show that
13:20these are signs that States must present to be repaid.
13:24This is the first thing.
13:26The second thing is that the State must be credible.
13:29Trust is an important element,
13:32in the economy it is a determining element.
13:36Senegal is a country that often succeeds
13:39in mobilizing resources in financial markets,
13:42which comforts its status as a credible investor
13:45with regional and international investors.
13:51The Moroccan capital, Rabat, continues its mutation
13:54with the introduction of new modern kiosks
13:57for newspaper vendors.
13:59These installations are also designed in wood,
14:02without having them along Avenue Mohamed V,
14:05offering an aesthetic framework that replaces
14:08the previous disorder of the streets of the city.
14:11Ma'a Jamal Dries Ayoud brings us to their discovery
14:14in this story of Alain Mennemi.
14:20Avenue Mohamed V of Rabat has recently undergone
14:23a significant transformation with the installation
14:26of new modern kiosks.
14:28These structures, mainly made of wood,
14:31have been put in place to replace the former
14:34informal sales points that encumbered the streets.
14:37A novelty that pleases all the inhabitants of Rabat.
14:41I lived in Rabat last year, so I know the place quite well.
14:44It's really a place I used to go a lot.
14:47I always buy my books here, so when I saw that
14:50they had made small houses, I found it really nice.
14:53Already for the vendors, it allows them to have
14:56a good corner for themselves, the books on their own,
14:59and then maybe be taken more seriously.
15:02So frankly, this initiative is wonderful.
15:06It's a great idea, because it gives value to the book
15:09in an era where books are sold unfairly
15:12on the same floor, with kleenexes or cigarettes.
15:15Local authorities have done well to think
15:18about this initiative, which gives value to the book
15:21and gives it back its letters of nobility.
15:26I think it's already a very nice place.
15:29When the work was done, we wanted to see
15:32what it would look like with the green spaces and the trees.
15:35I think it's very smart to do this outside,
15:38because it keeps the spirit.
15:41Sometimes people don't necessarily have the idea
15:44to go to the bookshops, but when we walk around
15:47with the family, we take a coffee,
15:50we see that the books are next to us,
15:53and as Maëva said, it's very neat and clean,
15:56and it makes you want to go home.
15:59More than a dozen bookshops have been set up,
16:02offering journalists, magazines and books
16:05an organized and aesthetic space for their business.
16:12I've been a street vendor since 1978.
16:15I was there at Avenue Mohamed V,
16:18I was also near the Café Les Ambassadeurs,
16:21then in Balima, then I exhibited my books
16:24and newspapers in the railway stations,
16:27and I had to display them on the ground.
16:30This is what prompted the authorities
16:33to propose this initiative of the bookshops.
16:36They took our coordinates and we benefited from this initiative.
16:39I hope that other neighborhoods will be able to take advantage
16:42of this urban aesthetic,
16:45especially on the side of Avenue Allal bin Abdallah.
16:48The establishment of these bookshops was carried out
16:51under certain conditions,
16:54such as the occupation of public space
16:57and a tax on commerce.
17:00This initiative aims not only to improve
17:03the aesthetics of Avenue Mohamed V,
17:06which is famous for its emblematic buildings
17:09such as the Parliament and the Grand Post,
17:12but also to boost local commerce
17:15while reducing urban disorder.
17:18Place à présent au best-of des invités de Mediantv.
17:24What do you think of the CSS's work?
17:29I salute the CSS's work.
17:32It is extremely important that public policies
17:35are appreciated, or at least reviewed regularly.
17:38We don't wait several years.
17:41As the report says,
17:44the generalization of the word,
17:47we can say today that it is a success.
17:50In addition to the 10 million employees
17:53here at the CSS, 10 million people in Tadamon
17:56and a large number of non-employed workers.
17:59So today, yes, indeed,
18:02there is still a fraction of the population that is not covered.
18:05Essentially, we will say in two sectors,
18:08agriculture and craftsmanship, and we know the causes of this.
18:11So first of all, continue to raise awareness
18:14so that people register.
18:17Unfortunately, people only go to health insurance
18:20because there is an affordable category for everyone.
18:23We have also had, let's say, economic conditions
18:26that have made it difficult.
18:29We had an amnesty last year and more than 150,000 people took advantage of it.
18:32So it's a continuing path.
18:35We are re-evaluating the methods,
18:38the measures of support and the appreciation of the situation.
18:43What do you think of the CSS's work?
18:46The Israeli policy is an end-to-end policy.
18:49They want to destroy, they want to impose their own will,
18:52their own policies,
18:55and they don't take into account Lebanese claims,
18:58that is, to protect the civilian population
19:01which is being massacred.
19:04We are destroying entire buildings
19:07in which families, children, women are located.
19:10And here, supposedly,
19:13there are people from Hezbollah in these buildings,
19:16which is not true.
19:19They are refugees from the south.
19:22We have the feeling that the Israeli policy
19:25is trying to create discomfort
19:28in the Lebanese population.
19:31These refugees are targeted
19:34and that means that the population of Beirut
19:37will be afraid to receive
19:40these populations in their homes.
19:43So the discomfort is total
19:46within the population.
19:49Let's go back to the policy.
19:52There was the conference in Paris
19:55where 70 countries were represented
19:58to help Lebanon,
20:01in solidarity with Lebanon.
20:04And the result is what we are asking for,
20:07what Lebanon is asking for,
20:10is to cease fire,
20:13to accept to deploy the Lebanese army
20:16in the south,
20:19so that the fighters of Hezbollah
20:22retreat beyond Litany.
20:25Everyone agrees on this,
20:28but Israel imposes
20:31unacceptable conditions on Lebanon.
20:34Israel wants to have the right
20:37to take over Lebanese territory
20:40whenever and wherever it wants.
20:43That is to say that we question
20:46the sovereignty of this country,
20:49which is unacceptable.
20:52No country was satisfied
20:55with this conference.
20:58Everyone was not satisfied,
21:01which is perfectly normal,
21:04but also because efforts have been made
21:07compared to the past.
21:10This is an extremely difficult area.
21:13When we compare the COP29 today
21:16to the situation a few years ago,
21:19a lot of effort has been made.
21:22Progress has been made on the progress
21:25of the implementation of this agreement,
21:29but also what is being done in countries.
21:32Let's not forget that a lot of things
21:35are being done in countries.
21:38Moreover, the Director General
21:41of the International Energy Agency
21:44estimated that by 2024,
21:47that is, this year,
21:50investments in green energy
21:53will reach $2 billion.
21:57This is what will have been invested
22:00this year, 2024, in green energy.
22:06The Moroccan Economic Tussauds
22:09is made up of, I would say,
22:12a large majority of TPMEs.
22:15These TPMEs are this branch of business
22:18that has difficulties in accessing funding
22:21for several reasons.
22:24Often, they are undercapitalized.
22:27There are problems with clean funds
22:30and financial ratios.
22:33There are also sometimes constraints
22:36related to their treasury,
22:39since payment deadlines are very long
22:42and this also poses great difficulties
22:45for these small businesses.
22:48There is also a problem,
22:51if management sometimes deserves
22:54to be reviewed,
22:57there are also, sometimes,
23:00guaranteed constraints.
23:05We are improving what already exists,
23:08the orichnik, which means in Russian
23:11the hazelnuts.
23:14This complicates the equation a bit
23:17since we compare a food product
23:20with a nutritional element.
23:23It is a weapon that has been improved
23:26according to many experts.
23:29It is a weapon of intermediate
23:32hypersonic range
23:35with a speed of approximately
23:3812,000 km per hour.
23:41What does that mean?
23:44It means that Paris, London, Berlin
23:47can reach a maximum speed of 14-15 minutes.
23:50This weapon,
23:53this orichnik,
23:56which is called 9M729,
23:59has a vocation
24:02of conventional dual use
24:05as it was used in this first test
24:08with the possibility
24:11of using it in the form of a nuclear weapon.
24:14This complicates the equation a bit.
24:28This concludes this edition.
24:31Thank you for following it.
24:34Enjoy the rest of the program on our antennas.
